Galway Girl Song Lyrics

She played the fiddle in an Irish band
But she fell in love with an English man
But I kissed her on the neck, and then I took her by the hand
I said, "Baby, I just wanna dance"

I met her on Grafton Street right outside of the bar
She shared a cigarette with me while her brother played the guitar
She asked me, "What does it mean, the Gaelic ink on your arm?"
Said, "It was one of my friend's songs, do you wanna drink on?"
She took Jamie as a chaser, Jack for the fun
She got Arthur on the table, with Johnny riding the shotgun
Shouted some more, one more drink at the bar
Then put Van on the jukebox, got up to dance

You know she played the fiddle in an Irish band
But she fell in love with an English man
But I kissed her on the neck, and then I took her by the hand
And said, "Baby, I just wanna dance
With my pretty little Galway girl, mm
